What is Driver CPC training?
Most drivers who wish to use their LGV or PCV vocational driving licence professionally are required by law to hold a valid Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) qualification.

Holders of vocational lorry (category C1, C1E, C and CE) and/or bus (category D1, D1E, D and DE) licences are required by the regulations to complete 35 hours of periodic training every 5 years.
Our Driver CPC courses cover a wide range of subjects enabling drivers to improve or add to their existing knowledge and skills, develop professionally and remain safe and legally compliant.
To keep drivers properly up-to-date, we recommend they complete 1 day (7 hours) of training per year so that drivers may be regularly kept up to date.
